(From the Correspondent of the Times.) VALETTA, May 2. Her Majesty's screw storeship Fox, 2, Staff Commander T. C. Pullen, returned here on April 23, from collecting Ordnance stores from the principal lonian Islands for Malta and England. She left this island on April 6, and arrived at Zante on the Bth, leaving on the 12th, and reaching Argostoli (Cephalonia) on the same day. While at Zante the weather was exceedingly severe, none like it having been experienced within the memory of the " oldest inhabi tant." Heavy rains, strong wind, snow and hail storms pre vailed. On the 10th so much snow fell on deck that the offi cers amused themselves by making a snowball, weighing 641 b. She embarked at Zante Lieut. Brown and a party of Royal Artillery for Corfu. After taking on board a large quantity of War -office stores she left on the 15th for Bathi (Ithaca). The troops were anxiously waiting to get away, and the Greeks apparently as desirous of being rid of them. Great fears were entertained for the current crops, on ac count of the cold. Only a few stores were embarked at Ithaca, as there is merely a company o f so ldi ers t h ere. Count de Ro ma, late President o f t h e C oun cil at Corfu, i s resident at Ithaca. The Fox arrived at Santa Maura on the 17th, and embarked all the remaining stores at that island. The Greeks there also appeared anxious for the departure of th e English troops, when it is generally supposed plunder and assassination will commence. A number of fine athletic Albanians came on board at Ithaca to look at the ship, and told some of the crew, in confidence, that their country men from the opposite coast would commence their ope rations and anarchy throughout the English l e ft. They fully anti cipate'. t ion s a assce s islands on the departure of our troops, a s the Greek Go vernment has no troops to replace th em , and mutiny is s p rea di n g among those it possesses. It i s on thi s a ccoun t that the removal of our tro ops has been delayed until some measures can be taken—what it i s diffi cu lt to say —f or t h e re n of as plunder protection of the peaceable inhabitants. The embarcation of the English troops will commence in the first week in June. The demolition of the fortifications at Corfu may now be said to be completed, one bastion alone at Vido remaining, and this was to have been blown up on the 21st or 22d ult. Some gun-cotton was tried upon the walls of the Martello tower for purposes of experiment, but it did net succeed so well as gunpowder. A B rasil portion of wall of this tower is still standing. The roofs of the barracks at Vido were considerably injured by the falling stones from some of the explosions. They have been repaired, and are now inhabited as usual. The Fox brought to Malta a soldier belonging to the 6th Regiment for England. She left at Corfu the Orlando, 46, Captain G. G, Randolph, and the steam tender Growler. The Hydra, surveying vessel, Commander A. Mansell, was in the Corfu channel, The Fox took her de parture for England on SaturdaY evening, instead of Tues day, as expected, in consequence of pressing orders from the Admiralty. The following passengers proceeded by her : —Mr H. Jones, R.N., secretary to Vice - Admiral Smart, and family, on sick leave ; Assistant-Paymast er Chaffers, R.N. ; Mr Robert, R.N., clerk; Mr Nichol, R.N., clerk ; Mr Pearch, master, R.N., on sick leave; two gunners, R.N., and a number of invalid seamen and Marines. Her Majesty's screw troopships Tamar, Orontes, and Himalaya are expected here this month, as well as the storeship Supply, to proceed to Corfu for the embarcation of troops and the remaining stores there. It is said that the Admiralty have ordered the immediate construction of several transport ships of the Himalaya class. The Dromedary, 2, Master-Commander A. Brown, left Malta on the 27th ult. for Gibraltar, with supernumeraries and stores for the Racoon, 22. Captain Count Gleichen, and will return to Malta and Corfu to embark ordnance stores for England. The Racoon, as stated in a former letter, is to proceed to Marseilles to take on board Prince Alfred, and it is reported, return with him to Spithead, the voyage to the Cape of Good Hope and Australia having been, it ap pears, given up for the present. The Royal Oak, 35, screw ironclad, Capt. F. A. Campbell, left port for a cruise and target practice on the 25th ult., and re. entered the Grand Harbour on the 27th. The surveying vessel Firefly, 5, Lieut.-Commander G. It. Wilkinson, arrived here on the 25th with the intelligence of the insurrection of the Arabs in the Regency of Tunis, owing to the increase of the capitation-tax. Immediately afterwards the Meanee, 60, Captain G. Wodehouse, which was cruising outside, was despatched to Tanis, and the Ma gicienne, 16, Captain W. Armytage, and the Pelican, 17, Commander H, W. Comber, followed in the same direction, for the protection of the Christian populations of the towns on the coast. The Firefly will return tc Tunis on the pre sent boisterous weather moderating. A Turkish vessel has brought letters from Sousa to the 28th ult. Her Majesty's ship Magicienne arrived there on the 26th, when the usual salutes were exchanged. The inhabitants of the neighbouring villages thinking it was a commencement of hostilities between the town and the Arabs armed themselves, and came to the environs, intend ing to take the part of the insurgents. A great deal of the alarm had subsided, as the capitation-tax had been removed by the Bey's orders. The Magicienne had visited Monastir, where all was reported quiet, and intended going to Sfakas. The Liffey, 35, Captain G. Parker, is now in port, under going a thorough refit. The Wanderer, 4, Commander M. C. Seymour, on the Greek station, has relieved the Trident, 3, Commander C. J. Balfour, at Patras, which has been ordered to Malta. A telegram received to-day from Corfu announces the arrival of the latter vessel there, but, having a case of smallpox on board, she had been detained in quarantine. The Egyptian screw frigate Mohammed Ali, 20, Captain Cassim Bey, which arrived some time ago from Alexandria, was admitted into the dry dock on the 24th ult., for the purpose of being cleaned and thoroughly refitted. She will then return to Alexandria, to convey the mother of the Viceroy to Constantinople on a visit to the Sultan. The Sultan's steam yacht Fegi-Gihaad is expected here soon from Constantinople to be docked. Several changes have been effected lately in the dockyard here, and others are expected to occur. Mr H. Innes, chief clerk and dockyard secretary, has been appointed stare ceiver at Devonport, after a long and meritorious service of upwards of 20 years. Mr T. P. Rickard has been tempo rarily appointed to the vacant post. Mr W. B. Robinson, master shipwright, has been promoted to be one of the con structors of the navy, and will leave shortly for his post at Whitehall. Mr B. W. Pidcock, naval store keeper, will probably leave soon fora post in England. Mr W. C, P. Grant, R.N., secretary to Rear Admiral Austin, C. 8., has resigned, and has been succeeded by Mr J. E. C. Sullivan, R.N., assistant paymaster, as secretary. Her Majesty's screw gunboat Foxhound, 4, Commander W. Anderson, went out early this morning in search of the English screw steamer Corcyra, which had been met with on the 29th ult, off Cape Bon, putting back to Malta under sail, having broken her shaft. The Corcyra has just been signalled, and all fears for her safety are therefore, dis palled. At the moment of the mail closing the following extract of a letter from Tunis of the 27th ult. was placed in my hands!— " The origin of the jjisurrection was the increase of the capitation tax from 36 to 72 piastres. The Bedouins re fused to pay the tax, upon which the Government sent some of its chief officers to try to induce them to pay,as the Bey had discharged most of his troops some time before, and had no troops to enforce it. These officers were obliged to take to flight, and one of them, General Siferhat, and two of his aides-de-camp were killed. The Bedouins de manded of the Bey the reduction of the tax to its original amount, the abolition of the Constitution (I) and the courts of justice, and that he should maintain the administration of public affairs and justice entirely in his own bands. The Bey, advised by some foreign authorities, abolished the Constitution on the 21st, and the day after he took his seat on the throne for the administration of justice, as was the custom before the formation of the Constitution. In the afternoon couriers were despatched throughout the Regency proclaiming this new state of things, which had the effect in those provinces whence news has been received of inducing the insurgents to return to their allegiance. On the same day that the Bey consented to the wishes of the Bedouins the French Consul called together in the Consulate all the French subjects and warned them to arm themselves in their houses that night, and said that he would give protection in the Consulate to those who desired it. It seems that he entertained fears that a number of European bad characters had entered into a league to join the Bedouins in sacking the town. He also took the precaution of arming 200 Al gerines of the place to protect the Consulate, over which he hoisted the French flag. The Bey .also doubled all the guards. Everything passed off quietly, and some people believe there was no occasion for all this alarm. The Italian Consul arrested several suspicious characters, natives of Sicily. The opinion in Tunis is that the English Consul is opposed to the abolition of the Constitutional system. An Italian and a French frigate and two English men-of-war are in the l3ay. In town all alarm has F. übzided, and the road from Sousa is new safe." The Adjourned Garibaldi Meeting on Primrose-Hill. . Oa Saturday evening, in accordance with public placards extensively posted throughout the metro polis, the working men of London were invited to assemble on Primrose-hill, for the purpose, in the first place, of protesting against the alleged illegal and unconstitutional conduct of the police in pros hibiting and dispersing the meeting appointed to be held for the purpose of considering the sudden and mysterious departure of General Garibaldi from this country on Saturday, the 23d ult., and also of maintaining the right of the people to assemble and discuss the subject of General Garibaldi's depar ture, as they had intended to do on the occasion referred to. The hour appointed for holding the meeting was six p.m., and at that time the com mittee, who had assembled at the Queen's Arms Hotel, in the Chalk Farm-road, proceeded in a body to the summit of the hill, preceded by the Italian flag. On reaching the top of the hill a circle was made round one of the seats, and Mr. Edmond Beaks was unanimously elected to preside. There were from 1,000 to 1,500 persons present. The CHAIRMAN, who spoke from the seat on which he stood, opened the proceedings as fol lows :—My friends, I thank you for this cordial and hearty reception. It shows me that you feel equally with myself that we are met here to‘ day to discharge one of the most grave and important duties of Englishmen—namely, to support, to in sist upon, to vindicate the law. In the language of an old statute, " The laws of England are the birth right of the people thereof," and I trust that you will, as warmly and as resolutely as your fore fathers, prize that birth-right, so far far as it is valuable —for I mean not by any means that all our laws are of equal value—that you will warmly and resolutely insist upon that birthright, so far as it is valuable, being preserved intact, and not suffer it to be either openly infringed, or indi rectly and insidiously filched away from you, or sneered away by those whose sympathies are ever in oppcsition to real popular rights. One of the most ancient and valuable items in this birthright, one of the most precious of our English rights or customs, which by long usage obtain the force of laws, is this right or power which we are now exercising, of meeting together, eider in the open air ur other wise, for the purpose of discussing and deliberating upon any political or social grievance, any political or social matter or measure of public interest. But your exercise of this great and valuable constitutional right was most wantonly and most unjustifiably in terfered with on this spot a fortnight since. A perfectly orderly and quiet meeting was, without any sufficient cause or reason whatever, interrupted and broken up by a party of police, acting under what are called certain general instructions, and evidently prepared, in their utter ignorance of the law, to have had recourse to the most vio lent measures, if any resistance had been offered to their unwarrantable proceedings, I heartily re• joice that no resistance was offered; that you—the people—were, on that occasion, the real guardians, observers, and protectors of the law, as it becomes a free, enlightened, and Christian people ever to be; that the only violators of the law were those who, if they had known or been properly instructed in their duty, were the most bound to obey and pro tect the law. I also rejoice that no one either in an official position or otherwise, so far as I know, has attempted to justify the conduct of the police oa that occasion. On the contrary, the Home Secre tary (Sir G. Grey), in my presence, and in the pre sence of Sir Richard Mayne (the chief of the police), expressed his regret at what had occurred, and at the meeting not having been allowed to proceed, and ac tually suggested that any of the police who could be identified as having committed an assault should be summoned before a magistrate for the offence. With regard to the original object of our meeting a fortnight since, the unexpected departure of General Garibaldi, I shall detain you but baiefiy, and leave to other gentlemen to address you more fully upon that matter. But here also I must congratulate the people. The reception in this metropolis of that illustrious patriot, that true king of men,is admitted to have been magnificent, to form an historical event, and that was all yours, the people's work ; his THE ORIGINAL ROYAL BUCKINGHAM SAUCE, for Roast Meat, Hashes, Gravies, Stews, Steaks, Soups, Fish, Game, &c.

Mr. CREMER, in seconding the resolution, said that Garibaldi had in the noblest manner refused the bribe that had been offered to him by the Staf ford House Committee, and had decided that he would not receive anything from the English people which he eould not make use of as he pleased and deal with as he thought best. This conduct on the part of Garibaldi should induce the working men of England to redouble their exertions on his behalf, and place in his hands the means of accomplishing his glorious mission of giving freedom to Italy. Mr. MASON JONES next addressed the meeting in support of the resolution, and spoke of the admi ration and love which he felt for Garibaldi, and said that he hoped the feelings which inspired the great man would so far influence the people of England as that they would not consent to the degradation of being obliged to meet in the English parks except by the permission of Mr, Cowper or any other servant of the public. (Cheers.) The resolution was agreed to. Mr. RICHARDSON referred to the fact that Gari baldi had refused to receive the money proposed to be raised by the Stafford House Committee, but did not object to the contributions of the working men. As evidence of this, he stated that the fund of which he was treasurer had already been drawn upon by the General. He hoped that the working men of England would_redouble .their efforts, and provide Garibaldi with all that was necessary to enable him to accomplish his glorious mission. England must, he said, provide not the money, but the arms, _ _ if necessary, for the purpose of completing the work of giving freedom to Italy. He proposed the following resolution :—" That this meeting deeply sympathises with their brethren in the provinces, who have been thus deprived of the•opportunity of welcoming amongst them the most illustrious visitor ever honoured England with his presence." He deeply deplored the disgraceful manoeuvres which. had driven their illustrious visitor away, and fully sympathised with the disapppintment that must have been felt by the people in the country. He, however, could promise them, on the authority of the General himself, that he would again come to England at a more congenial time, and throw him• self entirely amongst the people. (Cheers.) The General, as he knew he would, had refused to accept the Stefford House Fund, hampered as it was with certain conditions, but he would gladly ceept the two subscriptions of the people, given to him unfettered, but to use in any manner he pleased. Italy was not yet wholly free ; Hungary was look ing anxiously for aid, and Poland was gallantly struggling against her oppressor. There was much work yet to be done, and Garibaldi was the man to do it. (Loud cheers.) Mr.: PETHERBRIDGE seconded the resolution, which was supported by Captain Dresser Rogers, and carried. Mr. NIEASS proposed that copies of the above resolutions be signed by the chairman and by the secretaries of the committee, and transmitted to General Garibaldi. Mr. S. PLlAtsou, seconded the motion, which was supported by Capt. DONATTI, who had been on Garibaldi's staff at Aspromonte, and agreed to. Mr. CUNNINGTON moved a vote of thanks to the chairman, which was seconded by Mr. WHITLOCK, and carried by acclamation. The CHAIRMAN having suitably acknowledged the vote, and expressed his delight at ,the orderly manner in 'which the meeting had been conducted, the proceedings terminated with three cheers for Garibaldi, and one more for Mezzini. PHOTOGRAPHS BY ARTIFICIAL LIGHT.—At the Society of Arts on Thursday evening last Dr. Crace Calvert, F.R.S., in the concluding lecture of his course:of Cantor lectures, called attention to the metal magnetism, exhibited specimens of wire made from it, and showed the brilliant light which its combustion affords. This light is so intense, and possesses to so great a degree the qualities of sun light, that photograps can readily be taken of objects illuminated by it. At the conclusion of the lecture several successful photographs were taken in 30 seconds by Mr. Claudet, of Theed's bust of the Prince Consort in the ante room of the society's lecture-hall, the first ever taken in London by means of this illuminating agent, and they elicited considerable interest among the audience. THE PITMEN'S STRIKE.—The long-standing strike of the pitmen at Seghill Collery, in the county of Northumberland, has been settled upon terms which aro likely to be satisfactory to the owner of the colliery and the men. The new arrangement is the reduction of a half penny per ton in heights of 2 feet 11 inches, 2 feet 10 inches, 2 feet 9 inches, and 2 feet S inches, the workings under the last-named height being subject to the former prices, while the intention to reduce the pillar workings has been entirely abandoned. ANTIIROPOLOGY.—In a third article addressed to the Academy of Sciences, M. Tr6maux con tinues his investigation of the causes of the transformation of man at the present period. The Indo-European race, he observes, only pre sents the same typ e i n so f ar as it lives lacehier races; es consistingn the Terai and the Neilg heries, on the same soil, but diff ers i n pro p o rtion as the coma tries it inhabits diff er . Thus this race is fin e i n the south and west o f Europe, in Georgi a , Ci ro ; but i cassia, Persia, where the more recent s t rata predominate. In India, w herever th e nature of e rainy Weather the , the soil permits it there h l e i:f es t: of primitive strata, subject people are dusky and As ugly as monk eys . Th e chain of the Himalaya Is mostly composed of granite, gneiss, gypsum, and volcanic peaks ; it comprised beautiful and fertile valleys, where its glaciers keep u p the moistur e o f the soil and a most vigorous vegetation., The people there are of various types. Even in ancient times the Persians arid ludo were considered a fine race, and they are still the same; and the reputation of the Georgian and Circassian Women in the East shows that they have not degenerated. The German type comprises the Scandinavians, and the low countries situated on the same alluvial formation; the Bohe' mians and Servians offer the strongest Slavonian t yp e ; they inhabit older formations. The other Sla.vontans, it is said, are more or less mixed; bat if the Foil be examined, it will he found that the geological conditions differ. Hungary, in the centre of these regions, is of modern formation, and therefore both men and animals are finer there., In China, the finest Mongol type is to be found in the neighbourhood of Pekin, where the ground is of recent formation; the ugliest type exists on the primitive formations where the sources of the Jenisei are. In Australia the zborigincs located on recent soil are finer than those who inhabit the primitive formations. In America, taking the zone of the Tropic of Capri , • corn, we find on the elevated and primitive re gions of Brazil, the Bale , condos, the most bar. barons race of those parts, whil e th e na tions in habiting the rich and recent basin of Paraguay resemble the European type. Hence M. Tremaux's theory may be simply st a t e d as f o ll ows : —That th e differences of type ob serva bl e i n th e human ra ce , are all attributable to the geological state of the region they inhabit, the most beautiful belonging to those inhabiting recent instead of primitive for mations, he was being driven from England cwr o VIA:V . presence was unpleasant to her Majest ,C 1 ment, and he b egge d Garibaldi to s v • 11:7 , that he was going e n ti r ely on account of h; Garibaldi replied in these words—" My d, fl s cannot tell a lie." (Immense cheers.) This was the reply of Garibaldi to Earl Ohaf.tes. bury. On the following morning an address was prepared by Col. Chambers, to the authorities of those towns that were to have been visited, in forming them that the state of the General's health would not permit of his fulfilling his programme. Garibaldi read this address, and struck out with his own hand all statements respecting his health, and substituted the words, " for many reasons I am prevented visiting you." Himself, Mr. Taylor, and some other of the personal friends of Garibaldi, on becoming acquainted with what had occurred, held a meeting, and Mr. Taylor and himself waited upon. the General by his desire, to ask him whether he , had made up his mind to leave at once. Garibaldi replied he did not consiehr the statement of Lcrd Palmerston in the House of Commons released him from the promise he had made to Air. Gladstone and Lord Shaftesbury. He had no hesitation in saying, despite of Mr. Gladstone's explanation, au d Lord Shaftesbury's iettera, that Garibaldi was the , victim of a foul conspiracy. He publicly challenged Lord Shaftesbury, Mr. Gladstone, or Mr. Seely, to deny the truth of what he stated. The fact was the Government were not prepared for the over• whelming enthusiasm with which Garibaldi had been received by the people, and were afraid of the results if he went to the provincial towns. (Hear.) Mr. Shaen's statement made a great impression on the meeting, an , ' " elusion of his speoch Wree groans were given for the parties he had accused. " STAMPED... ..sd. departure, to say the least of it, was a most unseemly termination to so majestic a welcome, a very wretched piece of mystery and secret diplomacy, wholly unworthy of the character and dignity of the country; bat with that you, the people, had nothing to do. Yours was all the honour of the magnificent welcome, yours none of the degradation of the premature and forced departure. That his departure was rendered necessary by his health being injuriously effected by the pleasurable excite• meat of his welcome, it is impossible, after his own letters, to believe in any other sense than that of it having originated in the imagination of over officious and over zealous friends. Garibaldi himself is the very soul of truth, and if his departure, evidently most distasteful and unwelcome to himself, had been the result of his feeling his health injuriously affected, he would most unquestionably have so stated in his letters, expressive, as they are, of regret at his premature, and, in his own language, obligatory departure. There is something highly grotesque and ludicrous in making such a man ill against his own will. But here I leave the subject to others, contenting myself with expressing the fervent wish and hope that the visit to these shores of this heroic champion and representative of universal freedom —of the liberty of not only his own beloved and glorious - Italy, but of alrtither oppresga nationali ties, of Poland, of Hungary—will enlist you in the earnest support of the same principles which you ad mire and honour in him, and save you being led away by the unhappy and suicidal doctrines which try to make yon believe that England can with any safety to herself stand by in selfish and listless inert ness, a mere passive spectator, whilst the free peoples of the Continent are being, one after an other, crushed by that combination of despotism which will be only too glad to crush you as its last victim. Garibaldi is the personification of the alliance of the peoples against the alliance of des pots. Support him, then, to the utmost in his yet holy mission for the succour of the efflicted, the deliverance of the oppressed, the overthrow of the tyrants, the oppressors, the destroyere of the earth. And now I have only to request you to give the same kindly and patient attention to other speakers which you have given to me, so that this great meeting may, by its order, its regularity, and in all other respects, be worthy of the cause, worthy of the illustrious Italian whose departure we regret, worthy of the people, worthy of the democracy of England, which he loves and honours, and which, I trust, may yet be found labouring unitedly and wisely, both at home and abroad, for the welfare of mankind and the establishment of the real peace and freedom of Europe. Mr. NICHOLAY, amidst loud applause, proposed the first resolution—" That this meeting declares the conduct of the police in interfering with a peace able and orderly meeting, similar to the present, on the 23d of April last, to have been wholly unjusti fiable, illegal, and unconstitutional, and deserving the serious attention of all members of Parliament interested in the preservation and protection of popular rights." Mr. DAVIS, in seconding the resolution, said the right of public society preceded all government. It could not be tolerated in this free country that government be allowed in the slightest degree to control the privilege of public meeting. To prevent the people meeting in the parks was virtually to prohibit all open air meetings, as nearly every space of ground formerly open to the people was now con verted into a park. The people were supposed to possess the liberty of free speech, but that was of little use if they were not allowed to meet. Mt% WASHINGTON WILXS supported the resolu tion. Although the police had violated the law in suppressing the meeting on last Saturday week, they must not throw all the blame upon them. The Government were far more to blame. It had been said they met there that day by permission. If so the question still remained open, and they must hold another meeting without permission, to try the right. (Cheers.) He was glad they met there that day under the folds of the tri-coloured flag, which had been called the emblem of revolt ; and it was so, but of revolt against tyranny and despotism. The Crown had its rights, and while those rights were exercised as they were in this country they would klosetrys exist. The aristocracy had their rights, but:let those rights be not abused, or they would lose them altogether, The Com mons had their rights, and let them take care, or those rights would be filched from them. One of the dearest of these rights was the right of public meeting, and that right they meant to maintain at all hazards, despite of Sir George Grey, Sir Richard Mayne, or Mr. Cowper. (Cheers) The resolution was then put and carried amids loud cheering. Mr. W. SIIAEN then moved the second resolution as follows:—" That the passage in one of the letters of Genersl Garibaldi, in which he says, I feel obliged to leave England,' together with the evi dence of many old and tried friends of the General who were in personal communication with him up to a late period before he left this country, induces this meeting to discredit the excuse of ill-health put forward as the cause of his departure, and to-reluc tantly entertain the conviction that the abrupt termination of his visit was brought about by undue pressure upon him, for political purposes, and in the interest of the enemies of freedom, and to repudiate such conduct as a breach of the national hospitality and an insult to the people." He would give a brief summary of the circumstances attending the departure of Garibaldi as his justification for mov ing the resolution he had just read. Up to Sunday the 17th of April, there was no idea on the part of the General of abandoning his provincial tour, and on that day Mr. P. Taylor, M.P., and Mr. Stens feld, M.P., were to meet Mr. Seely, M.P., by appointment to arrange the programme and select an English secretary to accompany the General. In the meantime Lord Shaftesbnry and Mr. A. Kinnaird, M.P., called upon Mr. Seely, and after a consultation it was resolved by these gentlemen, for certain reasons, that a press sure should be put upon Garibaldi to induce him to to terminate iris visit, and it was resolved in the first place that a letter as to the state of his health should be procured from Dr, Fergusson. When Messrs. Taylor and Stansfeld called on Mr. Seely, according to appointment, on Sunday, they were informed by that gentleman that a change had been made in the General's plans, and that he would probably leave England at once, and that several influential friends of the General were to meet at Stafford House in the evening, when the matter would be finally settled. This meeting took place, when it was decided that those gentlemen who were supposed to possess the greatest influence over Garibaldi should obtain a private interview with him and Lord Shaftesbury. Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Seely were selected. The interview took place. Mr. Gladstone commenced by saying that the General's friends thought it desirable, owing to the state of his health, he should forego his cial tour. Garibaldi'e reply was, "Mr, Gladstone, I feel very well." Mr. Gladstone then shifted his ground, and said that, as he (the Gene ra l) could not provis. expect to receive so magnificent a reception in the provinces as he had done in London, the eff ec t of that reception would be in som e measure tarn ished. This argument, however, was of no av a il. General said, "I shall acc e p t the invitations." Mr. Gladstone then again shifted his ground, and said, if the proposed tour were persevered in it would lead to unpleasant complications in the Goeern meat:, Th e General asked, 4 , D, you wish me to go away ? I will go, then." M r, Gladstone re. plied, " The Government i s certa i nly desirous you should leave." The conversation resulted in the understanding that Garibaldi should terminate his v i s it at once, and Mr. Gladstone returned to his friends, saying, " The General has acted like a sen sible man:' Lord Shaftesbury again appeared upon the stage, and went to the General to represent to him that everybody out of doors was saying that THE MADRAS IRRIGATION a nd CANAL CNY. NOTICE IS HEREB Y OMP GIVII A N, That the TENTH ORDI NARY GEN ERAL MEET INC+ of the SHAREHOLE RS Of the MADRAS IRRIGATION AND CASIAL COMPANY will be held at the London Tavern, Bishops ate-street, in the City of London, on SATURDAY, the 28th nay of May, instant, at 1 o'clock, precisely.
